Rally Chat Lyndon Top weekend Aug 11th - 13th 2023

[DavidG58]

I haven’t organised a rally / meet before so please be kind , not sure if it’s a rally or a meet or even what the difference is

We discovered Lyndon Top before lockdown and arrived to the most amazing sunset on what had been a difficult period with my mum

For those that don’t know us, this is us my first wife Bev still comes away with me most trips

Lyndon Top is a large campsite with no facilities other than water taps and black waste dumps, they do collect rubbish and have limited recycling

Lyndon Top Caravan & Camping

www.lyndontop.com

We could simply all book a place that weekend and chose our own location , knowing other members are also going to be there, or we can be allocated an area of the site just for us. I prefer the group camping together option

I don’t think they offer any discount off the standard £15 / night and presume we will all make our own booking and then just park up together in the rally field, one of the things I need to find out

I know a lot of us are retired now and might want to extend to three or four or maybe more nights , the area for sole use will be available Thursday 10th to Monday 14th. August this year

Arrival / departure times are very generous, you can turn up from 09.00 on arrival day, leave up to 19.00 on departure day. I will ask if the same area can be used by anybody wanting even longer on site

The site has limited space where you can see over the water, a lower field is good for this but on quite a slope, not available for rallies, neither is the area of the main site that has a limited view of the water , both areas are very popular and get quite crowded

For now I would just like to get a feel for possible numbers wishing to attend that weekend

I intend to research possible food delivery to site if that might be if interest please say so and will be thinking of a possible ‘event’ for the weekend which will be very casual , possibly boules and or frisbee challenge in some form

Presuming I have started this thread in the right place I think I should be able to create a list of those expressing an interest here at top of the thread

I haven’t checked for minimum / maximum numbers needed for sole use of the rally area, but would suggest if less than 20 units are interested that we would just book independently and park near to other members if you wish to, but in general camping

Should have gone to Spec Savers, oh dear, I did.

 

[Cal54]

Several years ago we had a ladies (I use the term lightly!) inaugural meeting at LT - approx 15 vans. A food delivery was arranged, I think it was Tesco, and we had a BBQ/Jacobs table. We set the vans up in a circle and everything happened in the middle. A great time was had but unfortunately a pending house move means I can’t commit to anything

 

[lorger]

Interested, will check with the boss when home to see if the dates suit.

 

[cliffanger]

Would have loved to join you David, but we’re at Newbury.

Please make sure you have a lovely weekend, so you want to do it again next year!

 

[Lenny HB]

Would love to come but will be at the Retro Festival.

[Riverbankannie]

Would have loved to come but we will be at the Balloon Fiesta in Bristol.

 

[tonka]

I think a rally discount must be available so worth asking. We stayed a few weeks ago for the first time on the way back from swaffam fun meet. Was with the CCC and paid £13 I think.
I will say "maybe" need to check nearer the time.

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

Interested, will check with Cindy regarding her work commitments (as we’re away around/including the previous weekend).

 

[DP+JAY]

Yes, we might be interested.
Thanks.

 

[Neilfg]

Yup, interested if we have a van

Put us down as interested please David, Jens mum is a bit of an issue with us having just had 5 weeks away and we will be away a couple of weeks before this so might have to come home in between to do our duty no wonder we are putting the miles on this van.

 

[JockandRita]

Definitely interested please David & Bev.
We just need to have a closer look at appointments/blood tests/builder arrival, etc, on our planning chart when we get back home in a few days time.

Cheers,

Jock.
